Abstract: | A retrospective review of the medical records of 961 patients with type 2 diabetes managed in primary care in Tunisia was undertaken. Recording of process of care measurements improved from 65 to 84% for blood pressure, from 60 to 71% for fasting glucose, and from 11 to 53% for weight measurement (P<0.001 for all). The introduction of disease-specific medical records significantly improves the recording of care of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. |
